‘The eyes have it’, this time the buzzword is glimpse as this would highlight and reflect the careless attitude that characterizes the Grunge fashion and music. Hair as well as the lips might not enjoy the same prominence as do the lids and lashes. Those who pride themselves with a worth-admiring eye shape as well as color will be eager to embrace the trend especially for the rainy days. However there’s no need to wait until the next season to experiment with the various techniques instead let yourself be inspired by the numerous catwalk shows that offer the best example to follow.
It must be also mentioned though lips might not be highlighted with the same charm makeup artist still managed to pull off the desired effect of the sight-catching look combining these two essential elements. One of the pro advice however is that preferably we should choose one or the other spot as it might create the impression of an overdone look.

Color blocking eye shadow is one of the revolutionary and useful methods to create the Grunge look. Those who are not afraid of grabbing the attention of their entourage with their look might consider applying a single tone to their lids in a more daring and bold manner. The traditional smokey eyes are taken to the next level and oomphed up with a tint of edge. Use mascara as well as copper or black eye shadow in their matte or shimmery version to accentuate your glimpse.
Nude lips might be the average option when it comes of emphasizing the glimpse, the either/or trick would indeed bring out the best of your Grunge makeup as well as eyes in general. However those who decide to sport a flirty shade on their lips should opt for the same sultry and profound colors as copper, black and all the tones that are preferred by the fans of darker side. Apply it with care whether you decide to use a lip liner to define the shape of your lips or leave it bare simply enhanced with a lipstick or gloss.
